Washington State University alumnus and art collector Dave Fitzsimmons owns three portraits by a former WSU art professor and wants help to discover who the subjects are.
Worth Griffin joined the staff of Washington State College (now WSU) in 1924, became chairman of the Fine Arts Department until 1950, and retired from WSU in 1958. His artistic abilities stretched to many mediums and styles, and he spent years painting scenes and portraits from the Northwest and Mexico.
Many of Griffin’s works are stored in the fine arts vault at WSU or are privately owned.
